Lifting "Plugged" Balls: Misconceptions Of The Stymie Rule
(By "Birdio")
WHAT WITH RAIN AND VOLUNTEER CAMPS, Golf competitions in several Clubs aro experiencing a most difficult time. I know that at Kowloon the men's Foursomes has been can- celled, partly through lack of support and partly because other competitions started some months
ago have not yet been concluded.
The men's Championship at the Country Club, too,
seems in for a long delay, for I know that at least two of
the players remaining in the competition will be unable to play matches for the next two or three weeks.
